Thursday Pravachan- What Bapu Said - 9th May 2013

Hari Om

Bapu spoke about the meaning of the word, "Var". It has three meanings, groom, up and a blessing or boon from God. 
Who gives us the var, the Var Dan is given by God, by Parmeshwar and Parmatma.

Vardan means we dont want to take any trouble and yet we want something beautiful. Rishis and saints in the olden days used to to undertake arduous austerity and do tapascharya and then they would be granted a boon by the Gods. We do not take any trouble and yet we wish for something beautiful to happen. When we dont get what we wish for we blame God.

Human beings should keep trying and try harder and harder, when they reach their limit, at that point, Parmeshwar gives an extra connection and joins it. He sees how much everyone is trying. Parmeshwar knows everyone, he is always looking at everyone at every second and he looks after each and everyone.
From the mind, if you try hard and work genuinely, then God does not wait for you to say anything or ask for anything. He gives it to you. Once there was an accident and the man who was driving was fatally injured . The entire steering wheel went deep into his chest, yet he was saved. His life was saved. This is Parmeshwar Krupa.

Do not think about what others are getting and do not compare yourself to them. Everyone has a different line and a different limit. Only Parmeshwar knows that limit and that line. Do not look at others. If a common man is given a stone he will not know the difference between a diamond and a stone, similarly we are given what we are capable of.
If a mother has 3 children, each of her child is a different personality and she will have to look after her differently.
When something nice happens to us, we are happy, but we soon forget that . We always think of the unhappy things that happened to us. The unhappy things come faster to our mind and we forget the happy moments very fast.
Bapu says that we all think, "What I got, divide by What I expect". We make what we got less.
And for the sadness, I take the sadness I got and divide by what I expect, the answer is high because we expect and want zero sadness and so we increase it.
Bapu said Life is meant to be lived happily and not to think about the bad or sad things.
In Maharashtrian weddings, there is a cloth between the groom and the bride before the garland is put and the couple is so excited. the bride's heart is beating very fast and she is so happy, but we don't remember this happiness later. We forget it very fast. Similarly we forget how much our mother took care of us, loved us and nurtured us. Till something is in our hand, we have no value for it.
Maybe even Bapu because we can see him everywhere and all the time, we lose the value.
Parshuram's mother Renuka maata took samadhi after her husband died. Parshuram was stricken with grief. When he asked Dattatraya if he could see her again, Dattatraya granted him that wish but told him not to touch her. However, when Parshuram saw his beautiful, smiling mother he forgot and touched her and she started disappearing into the earth. In all temples, her idol is always shown as half in the earth and half the body outside.
Nowadays, children have started growing up fast, they go to college earlier and they are always present when their parents are talking so they are more mature. There is not much innocence left any more.

We should all think that we will all have difficulties in our life but remember that our Sadguru is so big that this is nothing compared to him. We should think about happiness continuously. And Mothi Aai is bigger than everything and can do anything.

We should not keep thinking about the insults that people throw at us. We should think about the nice things that people say about us. But we only remember the bad things and brood about that.

Ek Vishwas Asava Purta on Saduru and Aai.

When we do something wrong, the Parmeshwar does not punish us. Ravana and human beings will also never get the same punishment. Then Bapu asked everyone, that if the devotee goes to hell will the Parmeshwar also go to hell? Everyone says no. Bapu said YES, ofcourse he will follow him to hell and rescue him from there.
When a child is born, Mahishasurmardini whispers in every child's ears, "My child, I will always and forever love you."Parshuram has also told us that very often. So we should always remember this.

How much we love Ram, he loves us twice that.

I am Ambadnya
